Abstract (en)
[origin: EP4053035A1] A closure system (100) comprising a container neck portion (1) and a closure (2) both with tread formations offering multiple angular distributed mutual engagement options. The closure (2) has a closure shell (20) and a tamper-evident band (24) connected through frangible connections (31a, 32a) that break when the closure shell (20) is fully unengaged for the first time forming an unattached tether (33). The tamper-evident band (24) and a lodging section (15) of the container neck portion (1) are configured to provide for a strong grip between them, so as to impede the free rotation of the tamper-evident band (24) during the first and subsequent opening operations of the container neck portion, and specific optimal sizing for the tether (33) are selected, such that the closure system offers the user different re-closing options, at least one of which forces the tether to adopt an exposed state determining a protruding handle.
